MISHAWAKA, Ind. (WNDU) - While it was not mentioned on the Monday common council agenda, a Mishawaka resident expressed concern during Privilege of the Floor about the city's handling of the October traffic stop involving Mayor Dave Wood's son. Monday marked the first Mishawaka Common Council meeting since 16 News Now obtained body camera footage that showed police pulling over then 21-year-old Joe Wood last fall for erratic driving and then noticing Wood could also be drunk. The incident just recently came to light, and neither Mayor Wood nor Mishawaka Police Chief Ken Witkowski have been available for media interviews since 16 News Now Investigate's Carli Luca broke the story on March 8th .
